Default Hi from Thessaloniki, Greece

I'm into photography for almost 20 years. Being an IT Manager, I thought that having an analogue "shelter" is a must. So, I kept my photography away from digital. To be honest, I once bought a compact digital Nikon which after a few "clicks" became a gift for my then-6-year-old son (who's still using it).
I always wanted to develop and print my own films, a wish strengthened by a couple of "lab accidents" but either the lack of space or money or both, kept me from it. Now I managed to gather the "developing" parts, still lacking space and money but "hope dies last" .
Following the forum for the past few days I know that I'm among fellow enthusiasts in a friendly environment. And from the knowledge exchanged here, I know I'll benefit from and I'll also try to contribute to.

Welcome Myron. As you have said,developing B&W film requires very few pieces of equipment but a dedicated space for printing which is the really satisfying part of darkroom work is very helpful.

Watching a print develop in a tray is "real magic" which your son will enjoy as well.

I hope you enjoy our forum

Mike
